Superstorm Sandy tore through the New York region five years ago. It was a storm unlike any other we had seen before. Life was never the same for many tristate residents after October 29, 2012.
The monster storm caused unprecedented storm surge and record flooding. Dozens of people died. Thousands lost their homes. Countless prized possessions were gone forever. Sandy left a path of destruction from Long Island to the Jersey Shore and across all five boroughs.
n the aftermath of the storm, unthinkable, tragic images were etched into our minds: The Seaside Heights roller coaster floating in the Atlantic Ocean; the remains of Breezy Point, Queens, where fires destroyed hundreds of homes; long lines of people waiting for gas; and families desperate for help being rescued from their rooftops.
